Trina Abrams, a former resource teacher at Wurtland Elementary School in Eastern Kentucky, can be seen in surveillance footage dragging the child out of a classroom and through multiple hallways after he became frustrated and began to have a meltdown.

Abrams is heard on the video asking the boy if he wants to walk, to which he replies “no.” From there, Abrams yells “get up” while pulling up his body as he refuses to move. The boy was first seen being dragged on his back and then on his knees.

Following the incident, Kentucky State Police “opened an investigation into teacher Trina Abrams,” Senior Trooper David Boarman told CNN, and later charged her with assault in the fourth degree with a “victim under 12-years-old.”

The incident, which took place in October, resulted in Nelson pulling her son out of Wurtland Elementary and placing him in another school in the district, she told The Post.

Her son had just started at the school a month prior, and she and her husband transferred him out within two weeks of the incident, she said.

Nelson said her son deals with an array of challenges outside of his autism diagnosis — the 9-year-old has limited speech, meaning he cannot communicate in full sentences and has a speech delay, as well as ADHD, PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Nelson said that when she first met with Abrams at their initial IEP (Individualized Education Program) meeting upon enrolling her son at Wurtland, Abrams assured her and her husband that she had years of experience and that her son was in good hands.

Despite those promises, Nelson claimed Abrams has caused far more damage than is seen in the video. She said her son, who has been in occupational therapy since age 3 and had made progress in his development, has regressed severely and needs more extensive therapy than ever before.

During the incident, Abrams grabbed Nelson’s son by both wrists and bent them backward, according to CNN. Nelson told CNN affiliate WSAZ that a doctor diagnosed her son with sprains in both wrists, as well as swelling and bruising in one wrist that worsened in the days following.

The 9-year-old told his mom after school that Abrams “threw him hard down onto a chair,” Nelson told WSAZ, but CNN reports the camera inside the classroom was turned toward a corner, making it difficult to verify the claim.

“We will never truly know what took place behind that closed door because of my son’s speech limitations,” Nelson wrote in a Facebook post, adding, “This incident was violent enough to not only injure my child, but to also destroy his shoes.”

Teachers rarely had issues at the boy’s previous schools, Nelson said. When problems did arise, teachers would give him space to calm down before interacting with him again. Nelson told The Post that Abrams was asked to handle the boy in that same manner.

“She humiliated him, and as a mom that’s the most heartbreaking part, because her actions could’ve led to him being bullied had we kept him enrolled there,” Nelson said to The Post.

Nelson said her son is having a far better experience at his new school.

Abrams did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a statement to WSAZ, Greenup County Schools Superintendent Sherry Horsley said: “The Greenup County School District prioritizes the safety of our students. The district followed established safety protocol as soon as this situation became known. The parent was contacted immediately and the student was assessed by the school nurse and referred for outside medical evaluation. Child Protective Services was contacted and the Kentucky State Police opened an investigation. The teacher was removed from the school and a formal investigation was conducted.”
